The best lawyer I ever have

I have a DWI case in NYC. I've found Michael via search on the internet. I found him to be professional, trustworthy and simply honest. Although it was my first offence, I faced some serious penalties. Somehow he managed to get me off the hook with minimum penalties. I may call it a miracle, as I wa...s not even dreaming about such outcome. So, if you have similar problem call him, he's worth each penny you will spend! And you will have a real miracle maker on your side.

Great Job

In November 2011, I made a decision that could of ruined my life. I decided to jump behind the wheel after having a few drinks, I was stop and arrested for DUI. I had no experience in retaining a lawyer so I cross my fingers and found Michael Disioarro on the web. Although the process was agonizing a...t times, Mr Discioarro encouage me to be patience and more importantly fight for my rights. I am glad to say yesterday (5/14/13) my case was closed with a simple violation and small fine. Mr Disciarro leadership, knowledge & confidence made me a believer and I would recommend his services to anyone caught in my position.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
